blllties amount to about 100000, but the

Died From Hemorrhagic Small Pox.
The illness Of the Brooklyn druggist,
Manri, and his children, three of whom have
died, has excited considerable interest among
the medical profession and health officials,
who seemed unable to determine the cause.
The examination of the bodies of the three
little ones was made by doctors and all agree
that death was the result of hemorrhagic
small pox. They were buried this afternoon.
Every precaution has been taken to prevent
the spread of the disease by health officers,
but 1t Is feared other members of the family
will die.
Talk about Next Summers Yacht
Race.
The World says: There will be at least
four, and possibly six, schooners entered for
the proposed yacht race from Sandy Hook to
C0wes. This includes only keel schooners,
although it is not probe that there would be
any objection to the entry of centre board
vessels, if any desired to enter. An effort is
to be made to get up sl0op race in c0nnec-
tion with the proposed schooner race, but for
a separate prize. The owner of the Atlantic
is, 1t IS reported, willing to start her in such
a contest, provided two other entries can be
obtained, and it is said if the Atlantic and
Puritan would go in for such a race the Pris-
ella would also enter. 1t is felt very desira-
BILE in the event of a 1905 guinea race on the
other side, that some one or more of the
American single sticked vessels should be
there to take part in 1t against British cut

Basis of National Bank Circulation,

In view of the Attorney Generals opinion
that non-interest bearing bonds cannot be
used as basis for National Bank circula-
tion, considerable interest is felt as to the
probable course of the Treasury Department
towards banks holding the bonds in ques-
tion. Comptroller Trenhol was this noon,
asked what steps he proposed to take in the
matter, and said he would probably ask the
Attorney General for advice before taking
any radical action. He is now engaged, he
said, in making a list of banks and the
amount of Dlatured bonds held by each. He
was disposed to be lenient with the banks,
but he felt he could no longer delay enforc-
ing strict compliance with the
laws bearing on the subject of the national
bank securities He did not, however, ap-
prehend any trouble with the banks as he
thought they would dSe do their Sa.r duty in the
premises soon as made ciear to them;
that the banks will be allowed week or
more in which to replace matured bonds,
after which time all banks in default in this
respect will be proceeded against, attention
being paid first to those longest in default

A Home Light OF the Future.

The wonderful progress recently made in
the application of electricity to lighting ap-
paratus Of all kinds, but especially the inYen-
ton of the ncandescent electrical lamp, in-
duces one to predict that in few years all of
our homes will be frightened by the presence
of electrical light, with an increase Of com
fort and good health that is now hardly i'm
aginablc.
Popular prejudice against electricity as
an agent to be introduced into the household,
on account Of supposed danger to life, is
proved to be withOutfOundatiCn The wires
that introduce the electrical fluid into the
hCuEe are so perfectly insulated as TO prevent
the least danger from such source, and even
if this were not So the current required for
this kind of light is not strong enough to

One great point OF superiority that this
mode of lighting possesses above all others,
is the ease with which one may manipulate
it without danger of injury TO himself or the
house. And then the beauty Of tie light sur
passes all others, and has wonderful adapa-
bility to decorative purposes. The difficult y
at present is, that only the wealthy can afford
the expense of setting up q solitary electric
plant for the use of private residences. The
majority must await the establishment, in
their immediate neighbOrh0Od Of an electri-
cal light station. When once established,
the electrical will be the cheapest OF all lights
for domestic use, as well as the most perfect.

IMPORTANT METEOROLOGICAL Dis
COVERY,

The Cleveland "lron Trade Re-
view" announces that some expert
ments, which have been conducted
for some time by the Cleveland
Rolling Mill Company, under. the
direction of Eugene ii. Cowles, the
inventor of the process which led to
the production of aluminium bronze,
have been very successful in these
experiments. Large steel castings,
made with steel charged with l per
cent of aluminium, showed an eX-
traordinary freedom from blow-holes
and other defects, which are com
mon with ordinary steel castings, and
also showed a remarkable increase
in tensile strength. Moreover, it
was found that the addition of this
small percentage of aluminium i'm
parted to the steel the property of
making a clean and perfect weld
with wrought-iron. The alloy also
greatly reduced the chilling of the
metal, permitting it to enter the
mold readily and to fill it completely
as was shown especially in the cast
ing of number of gear-wheels.
Should further experience Justify
the deductions drawn from these
experiments, the discovery is an ex-
ceedingly important one and will
largely increase the uses to which
cast-steel may be applied.
